Acronis is a great product 99% of the time. However, each
and every version I have seen so far also has some serious
bugs that I have discussed with the Acronis helpdesk. They
include:
- Acronis won't start with the rescue CD.
- No keyboard control under the rescue CD.
- Cannot make a rescue CD.
- The program crashes in the middle of an operation.
- The program locks up the first time but works the
second time on identical operations.
- The display looks like a caleidoscope.
Your problem is a little different. If Acronis verified your
image file the first time but rejected it the second time
(when using the same version of Acronis) then I'm inclined
to think that the file has changed.
My impression is that Acronis have some really talented
people who turn out a great product. On the other hand
they give in to pressure from the Sales Department and
often launch their product without sufficient field testing.
If you stumble across a reliable imaging program that
gives me the ability to create/restore images while
working from a rescue disk then I would love to test
drive it!
